Both of these arguments are fallacious, resting on the false assumption that God will grant all prayers. This is not true: While God hears all prayers, it is His judgment that decides which are worthy of His intervention. There is no reason God needs to provide additional proof of his existence by flipping coins or holding 'publicity stunts' when His existence is already manifest in His creation. Similarly, there is no reason for God to aid or hinder in matters of medical survival - the patients' eventual destination is determined only by themselves, and their time of arrival there holds little importance. God grants the prayers of those who pray in faith and true need.

True need is often determined through the past acts of the person, and their life. If they have lived a life that could be deemed satanic, or have sinned without confession, then their prayers often remain unanswered.
Many people have found that because the time of arrival does not matter, and that the end result is the only necessity, their lives need not be lived in panic, praying for safe haven, and cures for incurable diseases. Many people have succumb to the temptation of suicide, and all that it offers due to lost hope, and lost prayer.
